RODRIGO Y GABRIELA

A pair of Mexican heavy metal kids who struck nylon-stringed gold playing acoustic guitar on the streets of Dublin, Rodrigo y Gabriela marry passion to precision. On 9 Dead Alive, the couple uncovers metal’s hidden lyricism and marries it to flamenco’s rapid-fire rhythms in instrumentals that transcend genre. Forget what you think you know about Spanish guitar. This is the sound of horizons expanding. (Michael Walsh)
